Parrying adjustments

[grim stone]

I just started, very new to this combat but parrying feels really unsatisfying, unrewarding and difficult in this game.

In comparison, pretty much every attack can be avoided without much risk with the dodge button, and I can immediately attack afterwards.

Ways I would change the parry system:

-Longer parry window
-More satisfying sound effects and animations when parrying
-Greater stun time on opponent after a parry

Honestly the melee combat would be such a blast if the parry system was a little better, but instead it feels like hit and run combat is greatly encouraged.

Edit: I might be too early in the game, I’ll edit this once I actually gain access to all parry upgrades

have you unlocked the "Riposte" combat art from the weapons combat arts tree? 👀

[grim stone]

No 😅 that increases parry window?

[brave stream]

no tho there's a combat art and even a totem (separate weapon upgrade) for that aswell

without the Riposte combat art you don't have a fancy post parry attack. it just does a regular light attack

with it, you do a special attack that does a very good amount of damage

Oh that’s cool maybe I was too hasty mb
